About me
I am an Actor that likes to explore authenticity. The truth in a situation is important to me.Additional Information
Reviews:One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest: Review 4 stars
'A special mention to Aqil Zahid as the lobotomised Ruckley - a part with no lines but essential to establish the uneasiness required to portrait a mental institution.'
http://www.remotegoat.co.uk/review_view.php?uid=4267#reviews
Blonde Compassion: A Yoga Comedy:
'...with the support of Aqil Zahid who does an impressive job of morphing between the four male characters.'
http://www.felixonline.co.uk/?article=155
Marat/Sade:
'Actors Aqil Zahid (an understudy) and Lewis Davidson bring great energy to Sade and Marat.'
